Page Creator versus GAfYD? Why one or t'other?

[fjpoblam]

I have purchased a domain name. I have, already, set up GAfYD. The DNS stuff is all set up, and it's working fine. (Good stuff!)

Mi esposa has also registered a domain name. I could (I haven't yet) set up GAfYD for her. Alternatively, I could set up, on her registrar's control panel, "blind-url-forwarding" to her gmail Page Creator pages. Is there any significant advantage to use GAfYD instead of Page Creator in this case?

i believe its same as any other site...

Google Page Editor is geared toward making websites accessible to anyone. The main overall advantage is that it’s free and it’s dead simple to learn and use.

I understand what Leftybogs is saying, but what I'm asking is a different thing.

Page Creator software itself could be used in either case. In one as, GAfYD account. In the other as, a Page Creation as part of, simply, a gmail account.

(In the GAfYD case, the gmail account thus has, at least potentially, TWO Page Creator allocations...one, for its gmail account itself with no GAfYD ("Google Services"), and one in the GAfYD account the gmail account owner set up: clear?)

So there: what's the advantage to DNS-pointing to a GAfYD account over blind-URL-forwarding to a gmail Page Creator space?

Good question, fjpoblam. I recommend "DNS-pointing" to a GAfYD account because:

• The entire website would be hosted by Google, from start-to-finish. This would include DNS lookups. Google invests heavily in their server infrastructure, so you would likely have better speed and reliability with Google than with your registrar's DNS servers.
• "blind-url-forwarding" sounds like frame redirection (you might need to check with your registrar to see how they actually implement it). With frame redirection, the visitor's browser must support frames, bookmarking becomes a hassle (sometimes it becomes impossible to bookmark an internal page and still have the domain name in the URL), and you're dependent on the registrar's hosting (their server serves up the simple page with the frame forwarding).
• You can use other Google Services in the future, if you decide so; Gmail comes to mind, as it's really nice to use Gmail at your own domain.

It seems to me that GAfYD is the way to go. In this case, I don't see any advantage to using forwarding of any kind.
